In Denise Levertov’s Eye Mask, the dark acts as a source of comfort and life. The speaker thrives off of the darkness and is not ready for what light will bring. The text says that darkness is a source of comfort. The poem begins with the line, “In this dark I rest” (Levertov 1).

Levertov’s “Eye Mask” describes the mechanisms in which an Eye Mask is used to assist life’s cycles of growth and identity. In this poem, the speaker represents the “dark” as an entity that will assist in her growth, instead of the light (10).
